It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.

For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

    Goes both ways

    No one was arguing the other way…

    “What a shame, better write an e-mail.”

    Ah yeah, I love writing emails back and forth for 5 days to do what could be accomplished in a 5 minute phone call.

      The future of industry is doomed with gen z being militantly unwilling to take a phone call. But I am holding onto some hope because I hear they’re also spearheading the CD music revival, so I just hope they also recognise the retro-coolness of telecommunication.

      Otherwise, the art of verbal communication will die. People will meet and connect via text, only to be completely overwhelmed when they meet irl and have to talk to one another face to face. But social life is inconsequential. However, at the end of the day, if you can’t talk on the phone for the purpose of business communication, your just a fucking pussy.

      We clearly have different communication partners. Most of the issues of mine are solved by them thinking about it. Writing an e-mail forces them to.
